How you score points in the Ennis Triathlon Club Championship

 

For each race in the championship ETC members who finish receive points. Total score for the season will be the sum of the points for the competitor’s three best races that are part of the championship. Points Are calculated in the Following Way: 

 

• Divide the finish time of the member who is at the thirtieth percentile by your own finish time, and multiply the result by 100. 

 

The person at the thirtieth percentile is the person who is last place within the top thirty percent of the race finishers. Calculate to the second place (e.g., 1.12). 

The nearer the first place you finish, the higher your score. If you finish ahead of the person at the thirtieth percentile, your score for that race will be greater than one hundred.

 

HANDICAP SYSTEM

 

Handicaps are based off the points earned in each handicap race and the handicap is then applied to the next race in the handicap championship. Starting handicaps for 2016 have been calculated by using the race points for 2015 (people who did not score in 2015 will have their starting handicap generated from the first race in 2016 they raced). 

 

Your handicap is calcualted as follows - The points you earn per race + your current handicap / 2 (remember your handicap may be a -ive number)

 

Your handicap points are then added to your champoinship points (remember your handicap may be a -ive number) to give you your net score.
